City Wok in Palm Desert

Had an excellent lunch… food was delicious, sitting out on patio enjoying the sun. Wait staff was friendly and prompt. Loved the grilled carrots, which was something different than our usual Chinese food we order. Sorry I didn’t take a photo of food… but did get to see Riverside County Sheriff’s Department patrolling on horseback…. Really greeting the public….

We frequented the former PD location on CC for years and tried the new (mall) location for dinner this evening.Same great food weve always enjoyed, same outstanding service.Ambiance is very pleasing, better outdoor dining than the former location.Inside was smaller than we expected. NOISY to the point we had a very difficult time communicating with our server throughout our visit. I will say there was a big group close to us who left after wed been there, and all we would think of is how noisy its going to be in season. That was a major disappointment to us.The mall parking lot was far more congested than we had expected for 4pm out of season.We were seated near the mall entrance glass wall, and it was enjoyable people watching during our visit.In all honesty we are pretty disappointed in this new location. We kept an open mind through out our visit, and did have an enjoyable walk through the mall after dinner. Im sure we will be back, but this location falls short of our dining expectations which is difficult to admit as much as we enjoyed the former location. It is worth a try to draw your own conclusion.

I returned to palm desert after 3 years away. Looking forward to my visit to CityWok off of Cook and CountryClub drive. Found out it moved to the Westfield mall area in 2021. I irferrx on phone for pickup all my fave dishes. (4) to my disappointment it was awful. Bland and uneventful. I was soooo disappointed. The chicken used to be pounded and sliced (I think) now it’s small cubed and sauces are tasteless. I know they’re known for no MSG but it used to be tasty with their prior chefs. Did they sell and nre Owner moved to mall area. ?? I’m confused but I won’t be eating here again unfortunately Panda Express it much much better. In fact it tastes like the old CityWok of years ago. Sorry but I’m sure you’ve disappointed many over here.

Such a great place to go for lunch or dinner, the quality of the food for the prices is so worth it. The flavors are good thank you for the great experience today at lunch, perfect weather outside enjoyed the outside seating. The flavors and spice was just right thank you will be back again and invite family and friends love this place wish I would of tried sooner. 💛💛💛💛💛

The food was good and had a good portion size but the service left a lot to be desired. There was a table that walked out cause they never took their order.

This place was great. Never disappoints. Everything was good. Fried rice, wonton soup, city wok chicken which is orange chicken! Will definitely return when I’m in the area. Studio city also has a location!

Worst Asian food Ive had in a long time. Too much heavy sauce destroyed the flavor of the dish. Four out five dishes were terrible only the vegetable fried rice was edible.

Found this establishment on Google Map and was 5 min. from the hotel. The place was bustling with business, they had guests hanging around waiting for their orders. Everyone followed covid safety & sanitary protocols by wearing a mask. It took 20 mins. and we got our order - that was fast! It was very tasty, the Pan Fried Noodles W Shrimp was delicious! Fried Rice W Pork & Chicken was also tasty except i believe they may have been in too much of a hurry to finish cooking it that it was not properly fried W clumps of white unfried rice in it. The cashier - Lauren - was very personable & pleasant, and gave very nice parting greetings & thanked each customer as they arrived and left. Worth the trip for a delicious Chinese food cravings!

This open-air bar and Chinese eatery Service fresh food and great happy hour specials. I had their firecracker chicken. It was nice and spicy. And it did not make me feel weighed down like other Chinese restaurants do.

There food was so good and the staff was awesome. I highly recommend this restaurant
